Moore: ‘I’m Not Running for President’

Maryland Governor Wes Moore prioritizes state governance and highlights significant progress in crime reduction and unemployment rates while ruling out a 2028 presidential bid.

  • On Sunday, Maryland Governor Wes Moore told `Meet the Press` he is ruling out a 2028 presidential run and plans to seek 2026 re-election to serve a full term as governor.
  • Earlier this year, speculation built as Wes Moore was considered a possible 2028 frontrunner; last month Kalshi betting market put him at 6% odds, behind Gavin Newsom at 20%, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez at 15%, and Pete Buttigieg at 10%.
  • Moore pointed to state gains, saying Maryland moved from 43rd in unemployment to among the lowest and saw violent crime declines statewide, and he said `we absolutely accept the offer for federal support`, citing FBI and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives assistance.
  • Moore's stance affects state-federal tensions as he asked President Donald Trump not to deploy the National Guard in Baltimore, Maryland, while remaining open to federal collaboration amid Republicans' mid-decade redistricting push.
  • Analysts caution that Wes Moore, viewed as a rising star after last year's Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse, recently rebutted a false claim by President Donald Trump, yet some political analysts remain skeptical about the permanence of his presidential exit.
